Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II 32-01/MM7332 completed its maiden flight on September 7, 2015 and is the first Italian Air Force F-35 and the first F-35 to be assembled outside the U.S.A. This aircraft is also the first F-35 assigned to 32 Stormo (Squadron). The assembly took place at the FACO (Final Assembly & Check Out) facility in Cameri. On February 5, 2016 F-35A 32-01/MM7332 left Cameri for an eleven hour flight with seven air-refuels to reach NAS Patuxent River, Maryland and later on to Luke AFB for pilot training. Designed to meet the US Military's requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defense program in history. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
